cant connect to vpn recently

Alchemist

Hi, can anyone help me on this?

I have been using openvpn ( UK vpn from scothost) for many months now and there was no issue. however I cant seem to connect to it since last week.
I'm wondering if the win7 updates have anything to do with it.

Here's what i have:

Tue Aug 02 19:48:06 2011 OpenVPN 2.1_rc22 i686-pc-mingw32 [SSL] [LZO2] [PKCS11] built on Nov 20 2009

Tue Aug 02 19:48:15 2011 UDPv4 link remote: 81.94.205.146:1194

It just stops there and does not go any further while my icon remain in the "yellow" monitor mode
Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks! 😃

Remote server is not acknowledging that you tried to connect.

Couple of possibilties:

Server is down
Your IP is blocked (you can test -- change you IP [reset router or something] and try connect again)
Server changed ports to something other than 1194
Server changed their IP that they serve from
Your ISP or some entity is blocking outbound UDP 1194
